This is way cooler than inductive for this application I think, but for a lot of other things inductive is pretty nice.

It's great to have a backup to the USB port so the device doesn't become useless if anything happens to it.

The annoying thing is the stuff that really would benefit most from wireless is lower power, less often used stuff, which never actually has it...

A Qi charging flashlight would be pretty nice. But almost nobody does them.
